The idea is to add links to blogs etc here rather than fill this thread with posts. The ones below are the ones I am aware of/can remember ... Apologies if I forgot anyone but please add on.

I'm from Morocco and my case is AF13XXX, I have passed the interview two weeks ago, but when I check the visa on ceac website, the is always administrative processing, the consulate said that my visa is approved..

One other problem, is all those who have been passed the interview in February and have ISSUED when they checked their visa, but until now no one have received his passport.

The last visa printed was in January.

Any idea please??]]>1DV 2019 Kenyan SelecteesWed, 20 Mar 2019 16:11:08 +0000https://forums.immigration.com/threads/dv-2019-kenyan-selectees.337700/

I finally received the dv visa with my son and hope to travel for about 2 weeks before it expires.
As we aren’t yet ready to finally migrate to the US we intend to stay for about 2-3 weeks. I heard that at the airport they issue a stamp on our passport which can serve as a visa to travel out of the US. I will like to have a confirmation about it. During this period I obviously intend to apply for our GreenCard. I hope to return to my country of origin and stay for another 3-4 months...

https://forums.immigration.com/threads/question-about-time-abroad-after-activation-trip.339500/invalid@example.com (Kassem)KassemHello!
I’m planning to activate my GC, and go back “home” for some months. However, I do want to be back in the US in less than 6 months so I don’t lose these months in the citizenship count.

If I visit the US for a few days during this "abroad time", does it reset the clock ? Example: 4 months in Europe, visit the US for a few days, go back for 4 more months to Europe, does this work ?

Thanks!!!!!

He didn't have time to get a SSC or wait for the actual Green Card. The Green Card was mailed by our friend to us. He was unable to return to the states ever since. What shalt be done for him to be able to come back to the states. We did not file a I-131 form.

I am one of the winner of DV 2017.
I was born in Burma and currently living in Tokyo.
I have made a mistake on state of chargeability.
It is supposed to be Burma but I accidentally changed it into Japan.
Now I am applying DS 260 and I am worried sick about that.
Can anyone kindly tell me that I would be disqualified already or will I be processed furthermore.
I really need your help. I am looking forward your answers and reply.
